The Tropica (Next to Temasek Poly)

[East Lover]

Any insider views from Tropicans?
Would this be amicably resolved if those high-rise litters can be stopped?

IN THE ST NEWSPAPER TODAY
Residents at odds over covered patios

Some owners say trellises are for safety, but trash on top upsets others

THE ground-floor residents of Tampines condominium The Tropica said they installed trellises with polycarbonate covers on their patios literally to take cover.
They added that their families' safety was at stake because upper-floor residents threw litter onto their patios. But because the rubbish then landed on the covers, this mess also made the higher-floor residents upset.

didn't know this incident until you forward this.

this ground-floor Tropican must be very very angry, then 家丑外扬。。。

must be some naughty kids lah...

Just put a CCTV and pass the tape to NEA to report littering from high-rise.

Thats why I will only consider ground floor units if the development is at most 5 storey high.

Upstairs throw litter easier to catch.

Hi,

This is my 1st post as I have recently bought a new condo still under construction. While looking around, I cant help but noticed those condos built years back are rather concrete looking while those currently launched are more aesthetic looking mostly with full glass windows and good views.

But as far as prices are concerned, the older condos are selling only slightly lower than new launches. I really wonder who are those buyers?? While psf may be one of the criteria to gauge the selling price, I believe the exterior designs should be equally important too in order to appeal to potential buyer.

Houses in Singapore cannot last long. 20 years is all it takes to make a house look old and tired. The pipes inside would have rusted, concrete will start to spall and lift starts to fail more frequently. What is inside is important.

The international school UWC is going to fully operate on August, now it's the best time for parents to buy Tropica, so they can settle first before school term start.

Majority of the buyers are Indian, heard >70% of UWC students are from rich Indian family, and Indian like big big units.

The 01-03 unit has been in market for 3 years, but very hard to sale due to big size, odd layout and next to tenis court, but finally it's sold out, and sold to Indian. I guess that's the biggest unit avaiable in Tropica now.

How about you testing the market by putting your unit up for sale and let us know the highest offer you can get?

why waste agents' time and my time?

heard from agent the new psychological barrier is now 1.2mio, so i won't be surprised if bro srm's crown jewel can get 1.2.

my family loves tropica very much, i will only sell if i can get a 4br with full reservoir view at blk 57 or 61.

today I take break at home. really enjoy the 'tropica' feeling. so windy, so quiet, so bright and yet so cool, 还真不舍得卖呢

[SRM]

Good to hear the uptrend. My family also enjoying our stay in Tropica so no thought to let go for now. Have yet to come across another development that exceeds or even meets the Tropica feel .

Maybe you can take look at CLOVER BY THE PARK in the heart of Singapore, Bishan. This project is at the last stage of touch up and will TOP soon. The two towers are jus beside the huge Bishan Park. Currently the park has been remake with a river flowing through. Just like Tropica, there is no road between the park and the condo. ......FYI

[SRM]

Thanks Bro. Will check it out. Cheers
